CVE-2006-5428
rpc.php in Cerberus Helpdesk 3.2.1 does not verify a client's privileges for a display_get_requesters operation, which allows remote attackers to bypass the GUI login and obtain sensitive information (ticket data) via a direct request.
Does this matter?
A public exploit is published in Exploit-DB (verified), so the technical barrier is gone even though the severity is medium and EPSS is 2.8%. Treat it as high on anything reachable from the internet.
